Graph inverted on x axis and stretched to a period of 20pi

Explanation:

y=-sin(1/10x)

standard for is:

y = asin(bx-c)+d

a = amplitude, a<0 graph inverts on x axis.

b - horizontal stretch/compression

your c and d are 0

So your graph amplitude a= -1 so range remains -1 to 1 but the graph is inverted.

your horizontal stretch is 1/10 so the period of your function will be stretched by a factor of 10:

10*2pi

graph{-sin(1/10x) [-40, 40, -20, 20]}
